The Dimensional Philosopher's Toolkit
This is the most important work available on objectivity and coherence. More descriptive than a manifesto, and deeply pioneering in its formality, this manual uses a diagrammatic method to express new theories and foundations in thought. More universal than Kant's imperative, offering more usable knowledge than Wittgenstein's work, with more absolute claims than Aristotelian syllogisms, and with more metaphysical implications than modal realism, this work has significant things to teach on many levels. It includes interrelated methods, arguments, and tools, which promise to assist philosophers --- including students --- in making logical, ethical, and systematic claims. This updated edition features a new, longer introduction explaining the inspiration behind categorical deductions, the central technique in this work.

This is genuine philosophy. I wrote it.
Coherent knowledge techniques using a diagrammatic method.
It makes Wittgenstein look nihilistic, and it makes Nietzsche look purposeless. It also provides a standard for re-interpreting how little Alfred Whitehead did with process philosophy.
Not metaphysics, but it does more with metaphysics than most works of philosophy have dreamed of.
Applies to theories of information, absolute knowledge, redefines syllogistic reasoning, and provides some good arguments for the partial failure of some traditional assumptions.
Overall, the best book of philosophy ever written (according to me).
Nietzsche is a better novelist, God is a better coherentist, but darn it this bucks the tradition. For a change someone (has) done something.

One of the best books on coherent philosophy.
